Word has just come through that apparently 3 people were just arrested at the Christchurch Fossil Fools Day protest. It is not yet known why they were arrested or what (if any) charges have been laid.
More info as it comes to hand...

Update: 6:51pm - 3 confirmed arrests, possibly a 4th. According to people who were there, the Police got "very violent" and "vicious".

Sorry to hear this.
Did anyone aggravate the cops or treat the police in a way they wouldn't want to be treated themselves?
Or do you think this might have something to do with the recent Greenpeace action in Lyttleton? If there was a paddy wagon there the police might have been trying to make a point.
Or what?

well, if only it was the police and the corporates who had to deal with global warming, and people who opposed the policies that led to it were the ones who lived happily...
Course, we all know everyone will suffer.
